“…A relatively recent meta-analysis showed that Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) is not as associated with CRP at early ages compared to older ages as it can show small-to-moderate increases (>3 mg/L), and also, CRP can show relatively similar values for choroidal thinning during ARMD. It can, however, be slightly higher during ARMD with cataract and show a persistence for even few months after operation [ 524 , 525 , 526 , 527 , 528 ]. Apart from the few contradictory data on myopia and the role of CRP, relatively similar CRP levels have been observed in those with central serous chorioretinopathy, normal tension glaucoma, retinal detachment, and exfoliation syndrome and exfoliative glaucoma, in which there still remains a controversy for the possible role of CRP as being a marker [ 529 , 530 , 531 , 532 , 533 , 534 ].…”

The current literature provides a body of evidence on C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and its potential role in inflammation. However, most pieces of evidence are sparse and controversial. This critical state-of-the-art monography provides all the crucial data on the potential biochemical properties of the protein, along with further evidence on its potential pathobiology, both for its pentameric and monomeric forms, including information for its ligands as well as the possible function of autoantibodies against the protein. Furthermore, the current evidence on its potential utility as a biomarker of various diseases is presented, of all cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal, pancreatic, renal, gynecological, andrological, dental, oral, otorhinolaryngological, ophthalmological, dermatological, musculoskeletal, neurological, mental, splenic, thyroid conditions, as well as infections, autoimmune-supposed conditions and neoplasms, including other possible factors that have been linked with elevated concentrations of that protein. Moreover, data on molecular diagnostics on CRP are discussed, and possible etiologies of false test results are highlighted. Additionally, this review evaluates all current pieces of evidence on CRP and systemic inflammation, and highlights future goals. Finally, a novel diagnostic algorithm to carefully assess the CRP level for a precise diagnosis of a medical condition is illustrated.

“…For example, a recently published observational study found increased PCT in patients with postCOVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) multisystem inflammatory syndrome. [ 11 ] Yu et al[ 12 ] found that the main cause was rhabdomyolysis in a patient who was followed up with the assumption of sepsis and whose PCT values increased considerably. PCT was found to be high in the acute period of Kawasaki disease in children, particularly in those who were resistant to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy.…”

Is procalcitonin elevation always an indicator of bacterial infection?

Adult-onset Still's disease is a systemic inflammatory disorder with fever, arthritis, and rash. 1 Although the etiology is not known, some viral (rubella, echovirus, Epstein-Barr, cytomegalovirus) and bacterial (Yersinia enterocolitica, Mycoplasma pneumoniae) factors have been accused. 2 It is difficult to diagnose and can be diagnosed by excluding other causes, such as malignancy, collagen tissue disease, and infection. It is very difficult to distinguish from bacterial infections, especially since it is accompanied by fever and rashes, elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and leukocytosis.
